For this Web 2.0 class you will have to choose a topic to research all semester long. We will spend a lot of time thinking of a topic relevant to you and your life. We will brainstorm using the Web 2.0 tool mindomo to both think of a topic and then to narrow that topic down. This page will help you consider topics while making a mindomo brainstorm. All topics must be approved by Mrs. Moore.
Keep in mind you will write a 1-2 page cited paper on your topic towards the end of the semester using all the information you found on your topic.
